Hosea 4:3

Yahweh Has An Indictment

²
There is [false] swearing of oaths, deception (broken faith), murder, stealing, and adultery;
They employ violence, so that one [act of] bloodshed follows closely on another.
³ 
Therefore the land [continually] mourns,
And everyone who lives in it languishes [in tragic suffering]
Together with the animals of the open country and the birds of the heavens;
Even the fish of the sea disappear. ⁴
Yet let no one find fault, nor let any rebuke [others];
For your people are like those who contend with the priest.
